On November 15, 1969, he married the love of his life, Mary Beth Grubbs in Stigler, Oklahoma. Herman was a family man, through and through; he worked hard for his family at Centerline and retired after 35 years. He looked forward to spending time with his kids and grandkids any chance he got. He was also a big prankster with his family. He loved his pets, cars, and planes and was a huge football fan; he loved rooting for his teams, OU Sooners and Dallas Cowboys. He was a member of the First Baptist Church in Chouteau and looked forward to attending services and church events. Herman will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
